Okay. How many of you guys think this wasn't just some weird kind of coincidence?

I think I need to talk to you soon...it's important.

[Filtered to Axel]

I learned something really interesting about you.

So Luceti...what exactly makes a person real or not? What qualities and characteristics mean that a person exists instead of just being a weird figment? Trust me, it's important.

... he didn't say much. He mostly asked me questions. I don't know how, but he figured out that I'm a Replica. Maybe because I looked like Ven to him... The only thing I really remember that might be important was that... he said he was part of something greater. I don't know what he meant, though.

[ a pause, wringing her hands a little bit. ] He wasn't ... mean or anything. He was ... I guess he was polite. But there was just something about him... He's not trustworthy, is he? [ she sounds a little more uncertain than her words might indicate, though. is he really bad...? ]

[He's not happy with that, shaking his head at her last question.]

No. No way. ...he wanted to know why I looked like Ventus. He knew that you and I don't have hearts. He wants something of Ventus, but he kept dodging the questions. You know a guy like that's up to no good when he won't give you direct answers.

... it's too bad ... [ but she sighs, and puts Vanitas on her mental list of Bad People Who Are Bad. better now and to possibly be proven wrong, than later and to suffer for her mistake. ]

I just ... what are we going to do? About him and Ventus.

[It's okay Xion bb, Roxas has your back and is able to tell you who's bad news and who's not.]

...I don't know. Right now all we can do is keep a close watch on them. See what they're up to. I'm not as worried about Ventus harming people as I am Vanitas, but the fact that we both look like him? It's too weird...it makes me want to know why.

I don't! [ she slams her hands down on the table without thinking, eyes a bit wild around the edges, but just as abruptly the panic goes out of her. ] ... I don't want to look like anyone but me. I thought all of that was over...

That's why I want to find out. To fix it. We're our own people now, this has to stop.
